1225.0. "Wanted alive AREAD/AWRITE commands." by FJORDS::ROSARIO (Angel R. Rosario) Mon Mar 07 1988 13:33

    I got my bridgeboard a couple weeks ago and last night I tried to
    transfer some files from the PC side to the amiga side, BUT I couldn't
    find the AREAD or AWRITE commands on the PC side as the little manual
    tells you. Instead I found an XCOPY command that I couldn't get to
    work, and is not documented anywhere.  What am I missing or doing
    wrong? 

    Also, I need to get information on how the Amiga talks to the PC using
    the dual-ported memory.  I'm writing a program that uses the PC as a
    real time data collector/pre-processor and copying files between system
    won't do it. Does anybody have this information? or Can I get it from
    Commodore or any other source? 

    Thanks in advance

    re: .0, first paragraph.
    
    I had this same problem.  It turns out that AREAD/AWRITE are on
    the GWBASIC disk!  There is barely enough room to copy them to the
    MS-DOS floppy.

    In the BASIC disk?  I wonder what I did with it!  Thanks I
    would have never looked in there.
